Signora Volpe: Secrets & Sacrifices

SYNOPSIS

Sylvia helps out on an archaeological dig at the Castello di Monterosa, and finds a skeleton buried in a shallow grave. The locals are convinced it's that of a teenage girl who disappeared twenty-five years ago, and that she was murdered by a recluse who still lives nearby. Riva thinks so too, but Sylvia is less sure. Her investigation uncovers a story of dark secrets, domestic abuse, and heroic sacrifice. The village welcomes back three lost women - one living, one dead, and one represented in a precious Renaissance portrait - and Sylvia's relationship with Riva crosses the boundary from professional to personal.
